When your Volkswagen spews a huge amount of the white exhaust smoke, then it means your car has a problem directly from its engine. Most likely, its the Volkswagen gasket that has a problem. The gasket covers the VW Cylinder Heads, seals the engine blocks and extends further to the coolant passages. Therefore, if your gasket has a problem, then it means that the coolant will be able to penetrate to the cylinder of your VW and turn it to vapor ones you have ignited the engine.

Is it normal for a gasket to fail? In very rare cases will the gasket of your car malfunction. However, it may happen if there is overheating due to intense heat. The heat in turn causes the gasket to bend leading to the improper sealing of the engine head. You do not have to worry if this happens since you can always replace the gasket using a new one from the VW Company. The company has grown overtime since the Nazi era. It is among the four leading car manufacturers around the world. Lamborghini, Bentley and Audi are some of the cars that the company manufactures.

How can you know that a car is manufactured by the VW Company? All VW cars have a blue VW logo on them. In all their vehicles and any other vehicle, engine heating is the main cause of the head gasket to fail. When the engine heats, then it will cause the engine metal construction to expand beyond the set limits. Some other few reasons of the gasket to fail include detonation which is also called pre ignition.

The burning of the gasket causes it to fail working properly. This results to the combustion of the cylinder heads. The out of time combustion occurs in the cold valves and pistons which are above the engine. This causes the valves and the gasket to strain more.

There are many other signs that can indicate the improper combustion in your engine. For instance, when there is a pinging sound that comes from your engine. Therefore, to change your gasket, ensure you remove the engine carefully.

Begin by removing the mufflers and exchangers before you disassemble the lower compartment which encompasses the fuel pump, pressure plate and the friction disk. Remove the nuts which are eight in number and remember to keep the washers safely. After you remove the cylinders, hold them together with the assemblies.

After removing the cylinder heads, you may opt to replace them with a new one. To remove the sleeves, slide the piston away. In case you want to replace the whole compartment, remove the piston wrist ring and push out the pistons and remove the components inside. You can then replace the gasket using an original one to ensure that it fits the type of VW you have and its engine.

It is never an easy task to open an engine and replace the gasket of a car. If done by a novice, there are high chances that there will be more damage done. The gasket never expires and when it fails to work properly, it is a sign of more damage in your car engine.
